@Carol, I am always interested to see what the “Food Lover’s Companion” has to say about definitions. Here is how it defines a chowder:

“A thick, chunky seafood soup, of which clam chowder is the most well known. The name comes from the French ‘Chaudiere’, a caldron in which fishermen made their stews fresh from the sea… Chowder can contain any of several varieties of seafood and vegetables. The term is also used to describe any thick, rich soup containing chunks of food (for instance, corn chowder).

A chowder can be any thick, rich soup with chunks of ingredients in it.

Lindsey, I thought “chowder” always had potatoes in it. Can you tell me what a chowder is exactly?

The saffron crab soup from Cornerstone was amazing! My son didn’t finish his and I just about dove into the trash can to retreive the last few drops.
Please post recipe.

The soup was incredible! It was literally like liquid hot wings! If it was on a restaurant menu – I would oder a glass instead of a bowl and drink it! Thanks Michele

Even money says Carder won because of her ‘wait staff’! What a handsome fellow!

The recipe sounds interesting, though I am wondering about the need to boil for so long after the chicken is cooked.

I’ll certainly try it as described and then I might better understand…

As mentioned above, the more recipes put online from the Souper Bowl, the better…

Mayo is one of those ingredients that might sound gross in certain recipes, but it’s basically just an oil substitute in a lot of them. Ever had chocolate mayonnaise cake? It’s awesome.

Let me see what I can do, Cole.

Mayo… really? I just can’t even imagine mayo in a soup. Otherwise the recipe sounds fantastic.

Any chance you’d solicit some of the other recipes? I’m a pescetarian so my sampling on Sunday was limited but the Saffron Crab from Cornerstone was by far my favorite!!
